Lisäraiskejä

Lisäraiskejä is a Finnish term that translates to "additional ski jumps" or "extra ski jumps." It generally refers to unplanned or secondary ski jumps that may occur during a descent on a ski slope. These can happen due to uneven terrain, a sudden drop, or the skier's technique. While some additional ski jumps can be exhilarating, they can also be unexpected and lead to a loss of control if not handled properly. Skiers may experience lisäraiskejä when navigating moguls, off-piste areas, or even on groomed runs if there are hidden undulations. The ability to adapt to and recover from these spontaneous aerial moments is a sign of advanced skiing skill. Beginners are often advised to focus on maintaining consistent edge control to minimize the likelihood of encountering unexpected lisäraiskejä. In some contexts, particularly in freestyle skiing, intentionally sought-after additional jumps might be incorporated into a run, but the term lisäraiskejä typically implies an unplanned event.
